Talk:Robert Winthrop (banker)

Untitled[edit]

Dear Sir/Maam,

Thank you for reviewing my article.

I realize that Robert Winthrop may not seem too significant today. However, I am trying to put together three articles that evolve into much significance in todays world. In order to do this, I have to note a period of 150 years. I am trying to bring the reader from Moses Taylor, to Robert Winthrop, to their notable descendants of today including Gov. Tom Kean, Sen. John Kerry, and Grant F. Winthrop.

In order for the reader to understand how and why today's men of significance, I desire to create the background from Taylor to Winthrop.

I have sourced all of my references. I have written as a chronology.

Please reconsider.

Sincerely,

Merit McIntyre

advice[edit]

As reviewing administrator, I think it clear that he's notable. But you need to do more careful sourcing: specific parts and statements in the article must be associated with specific sources. Additionally, you must avoid plagiarism; those parts of it that follow closely and source published before 1924 must be specified, and, if exactly copied, put in quotes. Those portions from sources after hat date must be rewritten to avoid copyright violation. i recommend reading our guide to writing Wikipedia articles for further advice. Give it a try, iand if necessary ask me for further advice via my talk p. DGG (talk) 17:19, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you DGG.

I had every paragraph cited specifically, but my footnotes did not carryover when I did a cut and past from MS Word. I will go back and cite specifically as you suggested. I do not believe that I have directly quoted an article or source, however I will review thoroughly.

Again, thank you.
